Climate Change Could Expand Range of Morocco's Deadliest Scorpion

Original: # Morocco Climate Change Could Expand Range of Morocco’s Deadliest Scorpion, Study Finds Across all three emissions scen

A new study projects that climate change could significantly expand the habitat of Morocco's deadliest scorpion. Across all three emissions scenarios modelled, environmentally suitable habitat is projected to grow by roughly 27 to 34 percent, with gains outpacing losses in every case. The findings raise public health concerns, as wider scorpion ranges could increase encounters with humans in Morocco.

Why now: New research warning that warming could spread a dangerous species is drawing attention
